HI, I have tryed to find the awnser to these problems for about 2 weeks and am about ready to give up on Linux and go back to XP. My problems are 1) I am running Red Hat 9.1, and am trying to get my Linksys USB100TX Network card to work, Red hat does recognize it, but can not initialize it for nothing, I have went through all the MAN pages I can find, and the info on RED HAT and LINUX.org and can not find anything. my second problem is that RED HAT can not find my modem, I know it is not a WINMODEM because it is a Hardware modem....COMPAQ data Fax Modem, and I don't have any idea where to even start with that one. If anyone has any idea of how to help a newbie who feels lost when it comes to linux plz help Thank you in advance
